Titans have lost 8 in a row, last victory coming 10/12 against jags..... titans turning to QB Charlie "I suck" Whitehurst (3rd starter) after season ending shoulder injury to Jake Locker. Whitehurst made his second of three starts this season against jags in October and was 17 of 28 for career high 233 yards. He was sacked 3 times...... Titans have 14 players on injury reserve, two shy of team record set in 2012.......
Jags have lost 6 of 7...... QB Bortles is ? with sprained right foot but is expected to play...... Jags DT Sen'Derrick Marks, who played first 4 years with titans, needs 1/2 a sack to trigger $600,000 bonus in contract. Marks has 7.5 sacks from interior position on team that rarely has played with lead this season.
I posted some other enthusiastic news from the jag camp yesterday suggesting to get the tre'. But another player secured a big contract and was brought to tears. Team spirit remains high despite record, and jags org is taking care of players despite losing record.
I have had the displeasure of watching Whitehurst throw the ball this year (on T.V.), maybe one of the worst nfl QB's I have ever seen, throws it up for grabs, and that pony tail is flat out ridiculous; semi-pro at best. Bortles give jags good chance here and if foot is supportive, adds run option to defend to hapless titans as well.
Think we will see clear domination with the jaguars 2nite, and <gasp>, think they will be able to score in the 20's this evening against a team in the titans that have not only thrown in the towel, but playing will tons of scabs d/t massive injuries this season. Toss in the fact they have already faced the inept Whitehurst as well this season, should leave little surprise to formulate a winning game plan with the more motivated players at home in this matchup.
